Chapter 745: Chapter 0468: A Significant Test_2 Chapter 745: Chapter 0468: A Significant Test_2 Gao Jini and the others brought Prince Zhao into the Thirty-six Jindan Core Array, propping him up as they exited. Seizing the opportunity, Gao Jini took Prince Zhao’s pulse, confirming his condition. She looked worriedly towards Qi Tian and said, “Master, perhaps we should abandon Prince Zhao. The cost of cultivating him is too high and not worth it.”
Wang Youjun’s eyes flickered. “Master, if you lack a Gold Core Realm cultivator by your side, I can find a way to capture one for you to make into an Immortal Slave. I only ask for a few high-grade spirit stones in return.”
Wang Youjun was a mber of the Chi Di tribe and was accustod to enslaving people. He didn’t see anything wrong with it.
Qi Tian glared at Wang Youjun. “Do I need your help to capture people? You talk too much.”
Wang Youjun shuddered and quickly lowered his head. “I was wrong. Please forgive , Master.”
Qi Tian snorted and turned his gaze to Gao Jini. She too shuddered and lowered her head.
“I make the decisions, and you just execute them. You do not need to offer suggestions. Understand? I won’t tolerate any doubt about my decisions,” Qi Tian said sternly.
Gao Jini quickly responded, “Understood. I will rember.”
Qi Tian gestured dismissively. “Take Prince Zhao to rest. I need to think about our next move.”
Gao Jini and the others quickly took Prince Zhao away to rest. Qi Tian stayed behind, staring at the Thirty-six Jindan Core Array deep in thought. If using high-grade spirit stones to set up the array again couldn’t help Prince Zhao advance into the Gold Core Realm, then the solution was simple: use even more precious spirit stones for the next array.
The only thing more precious than high-grade spirit stones were top-grade spirit stones. Qi Tian had so, but the quantity was extrely limited. Furthermore, the stones had significant uses, such as being the power source for the Immortal Crane statue. If it ran on top-grade spirit stones, it would accelerate to an incredibly impressive degree. During his travels, Qi Tian often faced danger. When other ans of escape did not work, he relied on his speed to get away. However, using top-grade spirit stones on Prince Zhao would deplete all of Qi Tian’s high-quality spirit stones, a result he was not willing to accept.
If he didn’t use top-grade spirit stones, Qi Tian didn’t have many substitutes. He searched his repository in the Heavenly Dao Engine to see if he had anything that could replace top-grade spirit stones.
After much consideration, he found that he had two potential choices. The first was Stone Milk Cream, which he had recently obtained from a hidden cave in the Wanjie Comrce. However, the Stone Milk Cream, despite containing more Spirit Qi than high-grade spirit stones, was still slightly inferior to top-grade spirit stones. He would need about two and a half tis the amount of Stone Milk Cream to equate to a single top-grade spirit stone.
The other option was a bit more grueso: Gold Cores. Qi Tian had acquired a bowl of Gold Cores in an underground world of the Chi Di a long ti ago and had collected more since then by killing Gold Core Realm cultivators. The Gold Cores were the essence of a cultivator’s existence and while the thod of obtaining them was brutal, it would be a waste to just throw these precious resources into the Heavenly Dao Engine. With around forty Gold Cores in his possession, Qi Tian had enough to set up another Thirty-six Jindan Core Array. In terms of Spirit Qi, the Gold Cores were equivalent to dozens of high-grade spirit stones, albeit so were superior and could equate to or exceed a single top-grade spirit stone.
Qi Tian regretted that even with thirty-six high-grade spirit stones, Prince Zhao and Guan Xun could not form a Gold Core equivalent to several dozen high-grade spirit stones. This showed how vast the resources required to cultivate from Qi Cultivation to the Gold Core Realm were and how low the efficiency was.
Neither Stone Milk Cream nor Golden Cores could replace top-grade spirit stones as effectively, but Qi Tian wasn’t willing to use the latter. So he had to choose between the two.
After weighing the options, Qi Tian decided to keep the Stone Milk Cream and use the Golden Cores. Stone Milk Cream was more versatile, and Qi Tian did not feel the sa psychological burden using it that he did when using Golden Cores. After all, Golden Cores were extracted from the bodies of cultivators. Even if they were from enemies who had tried to kill him, Qi Tian felt a certain discomfort using them. However, using them on Prince Zhao seed like a more acceptable option. Whether Prince Zhao would feel the sa discomfort was not Qi Tian’s concern.
Qi Tian made his decision and began preparations. Using Golden Cores to set up the Thirty-six Jindan Core Array was complex. Differences between Golden Cores were notable, and Qi Tian had a limited number in his possession, leaving him little room for selection.
With the limited Golden Cores he had, planning the Thirty-six Jindan Core Array would require careful calculation. Each core had to support the others and avoid clashing. Otherwise, Qi Tian wouldn’t be able to salvage the situation.
Fortunately, through the sensory function of the Heavenly Dao Engine, Qi Tian could accurately gauge the amount and properties of Spirit Qi within each Golden Core. After collecting all the data, Qi Tian wrote it down and used his knowledge of arrays to make a large number of calculations and deductions—a process that required substantial ntal energy and knowledge.
Qi Tian was incredibly intelligent, and his understanding of the Thirty-six Jindan Core Array was comprehensive, as evidenced by his improvent on the original array designed for cultivators at the peak of Foundation Establishnt to break through to the Gold Core Realm.
